__TOC__


The following is a list of illustrations by {{W|Kentaro Miura}} all of which are in chronological order. The art that is featured here is primarily from {{W|Berserk (manga)|Berserk}}, though other pieces of art, works, or media drawn by Miura are available too.

PLEASE NOTE: Don't try to seek out manga volume covers on here as most cover art originates from the magazine which is how they are formatted here, instead view this other [[User:Fr0stiFusionZ/Berserk Gallery|userpage of mine]] for if you easily wish to see colored manga content Miura drew.

Due to Episode: 83 being removed from the manga's canon the magazine versions of chapters are 1 numeric value ahead and display the incorrect chapter number in comparison to the Volumes which have the correct chapter count because of Episode: 83 not being included.

With the announcement on June 7, 2022<ref>https://twitter.com/berserk_project/status/1534022798540435456</ref> of Berserk returning, future art will now be solely done by Studio Gaga, unless stated otherwise, under the supervision of [https://myanimelist.net/people/6748/Kouji_Mori Kouji Mori]. Details of whoever drew volume covers or intro colors, if any further information is available, will be cited within the gallery.<ref>https://jojowiki.com/File:BSK_Supervision_Kouji_Mori.png</ref>

Promotional Anime Art by staff of all the adaptations will be placed within the galleries, as well as original video game art by {{W|Kentaro Miura}}.<ref>Various telephone cards archived from http://berserk-tcg.net/phone.html</ref><ref>Various media dates and YA Issue dates from http://berserk.fan.coocan.jp/archive.html</ref><ref>and http://home.catv.ne.jp/dd/hideo_k/ber/absolute.htm</ref><ref>Various art scanned by [https://twitter.com/FrostiFusionZ_ @FrostiFusionZ_]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Most of the volumes covers for Berserk actually originate from Young Animal issues and sometimes released in issues months before the volumes did.
*In The Complete Analysis of Berserk {{S|1998}} book, Laserdisc Volume 11's color of Charlotte's hair is displayed as blond compared to the final cover being brunette with a blue hair veil. It's unknown if it was intentional or accidental.

==How this gallery came to be==
Manga & Anime art within this gallery are mostly all scans that I've found issues for, taken apart with care and scanned for sake of documentation. The ratio of my scans vs online images with no other variation available is about a 75/25 ratio, 75 mine vs 25 online images so if you frequent this page a lot the quality difference should be easy to tell.

I first started reading Berserk in February 2019 so I'm quite the newblood fan to the series, though since all the research for artwork, I consider myself to be a very hardcore fan. I mainly started doing all this because my love for the series was at its highest in March 2021, I started to gradually and slowly build an art collection as I'd grown tired of seeing people use the same washed or blown out colored images in bad resolutions with said images lacking proper sources and I just simply wanted to provide them with an image that has good clarity all around.

Sometimes I even surprise myself with new art that nobody has ever seen before, I love the feeling when someone says they've never seen any of the artwork before it makes me all giddy.

However in May 2021 when Miura died it my motivation skyrocketed even further for archiving his artwork as I feel the parent company that licenses Berserk, [https://www.hakusensha.co.jp/en/ Hakusensha] fails to do so with only ever having two artbook releases with each one having a 24 year release gap between one another. Yes. 24 years! It took them 24 years to make another artbook. {{S|Feb 1997 & Sep 2021}}

In conclusion, the day this gallery stops getting additions is either: 
*I'm going through some problems in life halting my activity of doing so.
*No access to internet
*Berserk has finished with no more artwork to add.
**Autographs or never seen before artwork can pop up online from time to time, of which I will be quick to add onto here.
*I'm dead {{S|of old age I hope!}} and that'll be the only time I stop being a fan.
